Researcher sees gold in global search for faster computer
The Ring
Somewhere between gold and glass lies a new material that could end a decade of stagnant computer speeds, suggests a University of Victoria engineer whose research is adding to that vision.
Reaching higher, thinking bigger
The Ring
Twenty years ago, the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) was created to provide funding for the tools--the labs, facilities and equipment--that Canadian researchers need to move ideas, discoveries and inventions forward for the benefit of society and the world around us.
Listening to the “voice” of proteins
The Ring
When UVic engineering professor Dr. Reuven Gordon describes the biomedical engineering technique of listening to and recording the “voice” of proteins, it sounds a lot like a modern take on Horton Hears a Who, Dr. Seuss’s children’s story of an elephant who hears a voice calling from a microscopic dust speck. “Everything small has resonances. Everything has a voice,” Gordon says of the protein molecules measuring a single nanometer in size—the building blocks of life that are a million times smaller than an ant and emit sound at a frequency a million times higher than the human ear can hear.
Grad casts new light at a nanoscale
The Ring
Researchers all over the world dream of making new discoveries in well-established fields, but engineering grad Ana Zehtabi-Oskuie’s path has gone straight to the edge of an emerging field. While studying Electrical Engineering at the University of Tehran, Zehtabi-Oskuie became intrigued by optical trapping, a method pioneered in 2009 by electrical engineering professor Dr. Reuven Gordon, a team of UVic grad students and Dr. Romain Quidant at the Europe-based Institute of Photonic Sciences.
Craigdarroch Research Awards 2011
The Ring
The 2011 Craigdarroch Research Awards, which recognize research excellence at UVic in six categories of achievement, were presented at a celebration event on May 3. “Our university continues to be ranked nationally and internationally as a top research institution because of the talent, creativity and passion of our faculty and students,” says Dr. Howard Brunt, UVic’s vice-president research. “The accomplishments of these award recipients exemplify that excellence and clearly demonstrate how new knowledge is being applied to improve the world around us.”
